Chapter 192： dead predecessor

No one was spared... Sean rubbed the paper with a toothache.

Well now, a special case has arisen...

There is also a special note at the back of this line of words, the basilisk itself is immune to its own eyes, and the same is true among the same kind. However, basilisks are not immune to the venom of their own kind, they are only immune to their own venom. Although it has poison resistance that other creatures do not have, the venom of one basilisk can still poison the other, and if the amount of venom is large enough, it can even kill the other party.

He turned his head to look at the basilisk. The huge emerald green body was sweeping the ground. Blood was still seeping from the wound bitten by Dave, but many places had begun to heal. The scales are slowly fitting back to the skin.

What a strong resilience... Sean felt that if he was in a coma for another week, the wounds on the Basilisk would be almost healed.

Slytherin spent a great deal of time in the following records describing his experiments in trying to let the basilisks reproduce naturally.

However, Sean looked weird just after reading a paragraph.

Perhaps due to the limitations of the times, the method used by Slytherin is simple and crude - the wizard directly gave a huge dose of fascination to the male and female basilisks...

The fact is positive, although they are magical creatures, they still have the organs of normal creatures... Slytherin even described the scene of the basilisk mating in detail...

Although watching two fifty-foot-long pythons mating is quite heavy, even Sean has to admit that Slytherin is actually a research-oriented scholar who is obsessed with experiments, and this spirit is worthy of recognition. .

However, although the experiment was unsuccessful, Slytherin did not come to a firm conclusion.

"The trial was unsuccessful, and despite the mating of seven pairs of basilisks, I did not get a single basilisk - I did, however, get a basilisk egg. This egg is the same as a normal male egg for hatching basilisks. Completely different, both in size and colour."

"I tried to get the toad to hatch the egg, but it didn't work, and its basilisk parents did so at my Parselton order, still unsuccessful."

"Under the condition that neither parent can hatch, I can only think that this egg is a failure. However, I think the natural reproduction of the basilisk is feasible, but unfortunately, I don't know how to proceed. "

"I originally wanted to make this basilisk egg into a boiled egg to taste, but considering it was the world's first egg laid by a female basilisk, I finally gave up on the idea - wait a minute One, I'll try the next one if it doesn't work, maybe I can find the raw material for some new potion."

Sean's mouth twitched, Slytherin's thoughts are really special enough...

However, Slytherin's idea was not implemented, and his test records were interrupted here. Sean estimates that that time may be the time when the dispute between the Big Four at Hogwarts broke out. Slytherin left Hogwarts, and the experiment here was naturally interrupted.

In the last part, Slytherin mentions the recorded communication with the Basilisk.

"My bloodline gave me the talent for Parseltongue, however, to my disappointment, the basilisks are just as intelligent as ordinary snakes--they don't even have the same IQ as their fellow magical creatures. Runes."

"If it wasn't for Parseltongue, I have absolutely no doubt that those guys would eat me directly, even if they were all raised by me."

Ok? Sean frowned, the description didn't match his experience. He only learned a few Parseltongues and was completely unable to control the basilisk, but the basilisk in the stone room did not attack him after the initial accident, and even communicated peacefully with Dave who bit it.

Also, it showed a pretty good level of intelligence, even knowing that Sean wasn't dead and could rescue him through something.

weird guy...

"My descendants, I think I need to describe to you how Parseltongue works. Parseltongue, as the most glorious gift, is essentially a kind of verbal magic that requires no spells, no magic, As long as you can speak Parseltongue, the magic will work automatically."

"Parseltongue can convey a wizard's thoughts to a snake, and then translate the snake's response into a way that we can understand. At the same time, Parseltongue is a separate language, and between two Parseltongues it is possible to use the Conversation in this language."

The following sentence seems to have been written by Slytherin after a long time. His handwriting is very scribbled and seems to be greatly stimulated - Slytherin is obviously a wizard and can use magic to remove writing, but the first A line of words was directly blacked out.

Below the blacked-out writing, Slytherin wrote forcefully: "Remember! My descendants! Don't show Parseltongue in front of other wizards!"

Sean raised an eyebrow, and he could probably guess why Slytherin was so excited.

It is estimated that he found that Parseltongue can actually be learned.

Sean clearly remembered that in the original plot, Ron just listened to Harry's sleep talk too much, and he successfully imitated the hiss and opened the entrance to the secret room.

This proves that his previous judgment is wrong, Parseltongue does not rely on blood, this is a language that wizards can learn. However, due to the difficulty of learning and the arrogant and irritable character and bad reputation of the Gaunt family, other wizards have no chance to learn this thing at all, and wizards think that this is an innate talent, and rarely emerges Learn Parseltongue thinking.

Slytherin is likely to have discovered this, and he is probably not too pretentious to accept... Just think about it, you originally thought that your unique and noble bloodline brought you a talent that makes you different from others, but the truth is, This talent can be replicated and learned by guys of dirty blood.

As an extreme pure-blood, Slytherin is estimated to have been stimulated a lot.

However, Slytherin's mental journey was not in the scope of Sean's concern. He put away the parchment and continued to sweep the stone room.

After harvesting another copy of Slytherin's curses, Shawn discovered a special place.

Under the stone wall in the farthest corner, there is a stone brick slightly raised, and a small snake hissing letter is carved on it.

It was estimated that this was what Gormley said, a treasure that requires Parseltongue to obtain.

Shawn, who was worried about what would happen again, learned to be smart this time. He retreated directly into the corridor to make sure that he would not meet any ghost again, and then made a loud voice to himself.

"Open it, the glorious descendants have come, please grant me your secret so powerful." He hissed loudly.

Then, Sean immediately clenched his wand and phoenix tail, ready to run away if something went wrong.

However, this time there was no accident, and Dave sent all the signals of safety.

With a sigh of relief, Sean walked over, the original stone brick had disappeared, the stone wall was sunken, and a small room of four or five square meters appeared in front of him.

Then, Sean saw that next to a tall box, there were three bones leaning against the wall.

Those few bones seemed to have existed for quite a long time, and the clothes on their bodies had long since turned into shreds that could not be seen clearly.

Is this what Slytherin left behind? After using the spell from afar and probing silently, Sean didn't find any black magic in that cubicle.

He even took out the high-precision speculum that he got in the lottery. This thing looked like a top made of crystal, and it was not spinning at the moment.

Sean, relieved, checked the compartment.

The three bones were leaning against each other, and their bodies showed an unnatural posture.

Among them, the white bone with the least corrosion has a thick notebook under it, and there is a crystal bottle lying on it, and there is something like silver floss floating back and forth in the bottle.

This thing looks like a memory...

Sean picked up the notebook and blew the dust, and magic was applied to it. Except for the dust, there was no damage to the notebook.

This is a commonly used preservation spell, which is generally used to preserve various books and materials.

Sean, who couldn't see where the notebook came from, opened the first page, only to find that there were still traces of the Confusion Curse on it. However, the Confusion Charm is different from the Preservation Charm. The Preservation Charm is only a single input of powerful enough magic power, and the spell can last for a very long time. For something like the Confusion Charm, if the caster dies, the spell will become invalid.

However, just by looking at the magic traces above, you can tell that the spell caster was very powerful during his lifetime, at least in the Confusion Curse.

The first page reads: "My name is Ales Lockhart, born in 1583, a graduate of Ravenclaw at Hogwarts, and this is my return to the castle after many years, for the sake of St. The treasure of Lytlin has come. I write this to remind myself of who I am. I am reading my diary, remember who I am, and don’t get confused.”

This man is also called Lockhart? I don't know if it has anything to do with my own sloppy Defense Against the Dark Arts professor... But a man of has been around for more than 300 years.

Sean, who continued to read, looked strange.

This Ales Lockhart is a total genius! It seems to be a talent, he is extremely proficient in magic related to memory, whether it is oblivion spell or memory fabrication spell, it is completely a piece of cake for Ales.

After discovering this talent, the man was on his way to playing with memory forever, he even stole the memory of someone in the Gaunt family and learned Parseltongue!

At the same time, he also learned about the secret room and learned that Slytherin still has treasures left in the castle.

Ales disguised as a student and returned to Hogwarts again for the treasure.

And the reason why he wrote those words in his notes was because he manipulated too many memories, which led to problems with his own memory. He often had self-recognition disorders and regarded himself as someone who had stolen memories. people.

Sean's mouth twitched, this guy is really talented...
